We know he shares our soccer family values and understands the importance of our culture." "I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join Grand Canyon," Leonard said. "I want to thank Chris and Blake (Reynolds) for their trust and belief in me. The program they have built is special, and I am eager to contribute to the ongoing success of the Lopes. I am extremely proud to be part of the GCU soccer family." The previous three seasons, Leonard oversaw the goalkeepers at Nevada, a team the Lopes faced in 2024 and 2025. Leonard helped return the Wolf Pack to the conference tournament for the first time in a decade in 2023, and make back-to-back appearances for the first time in 15 seasons in 2024. Leonard coached goalkeeper Ally Larkin to an All-Mountain West Newcomer Team in his first season in Reno, as the Wolf Pack earned five shutouts on the year. During his time at Nevada, Leonard also held the recruiting coordinator role. Before Nevada, Leonard began his coaching career at California, where he played a key role in a 10-win season and NCAA Tournament berth in 2022 and a goals-against-average of less than one in 2021
